I didn't feel like my pores were particularly tightened, and instead, my face felt dull when I only used this, so I ended up using it only on my nose area later.

I bought it to manage my pores in the summer, and I liked the refreshing feeling.

모공 숨바꼭질 포어 타이트닝 젤 크림

For a cream, it doesn't seem to have great moisturizing power. It feels a bit tight as it dries.

It spreads nicely and absorbs quickly. I'm generally satisfied with it.

Compared to the price, the amount seems a bit small in my opinion. I need a larger size.

My skin feels incredibly refreshing and great! I'll likely use this again next time.

It's for summer use. Fresh, nothing more, nothing less. But if it's for oily skin, then...

Fresh. Absorbs well... Highly recommended for oily skin types who really dislike oil, especially for summer use.

The website heavily promoted the pore-minimizing effects, but I haven't seen such effects yet. And the amount is too little.

It feels refreshing and cool after application. I think it would be great for summer use.

 It seems the Japanese library has the heater cranked up too high, and the air is stuffy and stifling.
The AC lotion and gel cream both lack oil, so the internal dryness hasn't improved at all, leading to flaking skin, itchiness, tightness, and heat.

The conclusion is that my skin is struggling, and even layering this product didn't help. But when I changed the cleanser and used it, it got better, to the point that my sebum production became too active, so I'll use only a small amount from now on.

Please just go away, photo..
Could you at least have a temporary save or similar storage function..

 Since it was a 50ml gift, I didn't particularly care about the price.
The carbomer ingredient seems a bit high in the ingredient list, and the cetearyl alcohol is also not great.
The shea butter also doesn't seem quite right, but since it's in small amounts, it should be fine with caution.
There was a spatula included in the set, but it seems too flat.
The flat shape makes it difficult to pick up and uncomfortable to apply on the skin.

Breakouts appeared on my forehead (3), cheeks (2), and around the nose (3-4).
They are painful when pressed, but not large cystic ones, just small, red, and raised blemishes.
+ 08.19
Concluded that it's not the toner's fault.
Seems like it might be due to the high carbomer content or the shea butter ingredient.
Started using it again today, and feel like breakouts are starting to come up again.
Can feel some bumps, so I'll try a blemish care pack first and then apply this tomorrow.
+ 08.20
Seems like this is really causing the bumps to come up.
Breakouts on the cheeks and around the nose...
Applied it after the pack, but still feel uneasy about it.
+ 08.22
Bumpy breakouts have come up on both cheeks, to the point of being able to extract them.
Looks like the chin area will be next.

In the morning, there was a slight bump on the forehead.
There was also a reddened spot on the cheek, but it could be a coincidence.
+ 04.04
Lately, it doesn't seem to be causing breakouts, but there seems to be another cause.
It might be from switching Japanese products or the dirty bedding in the dorm.

 In August, a gift is provided for purchases of 70,000 won or more.
The pore tightening toner is replaced with the pore tightening gel cream.
While applying, it felt slightly sticky, but the stickiness disappeared after fully applying it.
However, those who dislike even a brief moment of stickiness should take note.
It is a non-runny gel-type with a slightly opaque color.
It has a texture that is slightly tacky and adheres well.
Although it is not unscented, the scent is similar to mint candy and quickly disappears.
The fragrance is very mild, which is good.
There is no irritation, heat buildup, or redness.
The pore tightening effect will be known after using it, but it is unknown at the moment.
The sebum secretion did not increase much even after 30 minutes, but a decent amount came out after waking up.
As expected, the ingredients are good in the Papa Recipe product.

After exfoliating, I used it for the first time in a while, and I applied the moisturizing oil 2-3 times more than usual and the gel cream thickly, but the oiliness did not break out.
Rather, as time passed, my cheeks seemed to have become a bit dry again, and when I wiped the back of my hand, it felt dry, and the oil on my forehead was less.
It may be because it's winter, not summer.
There was no internal dryness.
+ 02.07
Before makeup, I wiped with a toner and applied only half the amount of yesterday, but it didn't get too oily.
However, it's not that there is no dead skin, just less.
The moisturizing power is medium, as it is not oily.

It looked like it only had moisture, so I was using it every night before bed, but when I woke up in the morning, my skin would be a complete mess, so I stopped using it. But then I saw on the Hwahae app that it contains shea butter.

It might be good for those with dry skin, but I don't recommend it for those with oily skin.

I've been keeping it in the refrigerator as instructed, and it feels really refreshing.

My face is oily, and after washing, it feels tight?! I'm that type, and I usually only use a moisturizer, so I tried this instead of my moisturizer, but two days later?! I immediately had a breakout. I think it's because the product is supposed to shrink pores, so it really pulls on my skin, to the point where it's a bit painful... Anyway, I broke out, so I stopped using it right away.

The product had a cooling effect and was not greasy, which I liked.

Using other products from the same line together would probably be good.

It's a bit watery and has a slightly dry feeling, which is a bit of a hassle.

When applied, it feels refreshing and makes my face look flushed, which feels good.

If you pat this onto your skin, you can really feel your skin becoming supple!

I want to buy more.. but the size is small haha
But the only downside is that there's literally nothing I dislike about it

I used the toner and essence together.
No breakouts and it felt gentle and refreshing??
Using it with the essence, my skin felt plump and hydrated.

If refrigerated and used cool, it has a good calming effect when applied before bedtime in the summer.

There is no dramatic effect on pores.
It does not seem to provide adequate moisture.

Despite being a cream, it leaves a soft, powdery feel after application.
It feels very lightweight when applied to the skin.

1. When you purchase it, there will be a spatula attached to the lid, so don't throw it away even though it's a hassle - using that is better for hygiene.
2. If you want even more effect, try storing it in the refrigerator and using it - it's honestly super refreshing.

It did have a slightly sticky feeling... It was annoying when some hair got stuck to it while doing homework.

As a pore-tightening product, it really does give a refreshing feeling when applied. The scent is refreshing, and it has quite a bit of moisture, feeling very firm.
